The White House under President Donald Trump has directed the U.S. military to lift the hold that the Biden administration had placed on the transfer of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, according to a source within the White House who spoke to Reuters on Saturday.
This decision had been widely anticipated. The hold had been placed by Biden’s administration over concerns regarding the potential consequences of these bombings in Israel’s ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
The Biden administration’s main worry centered around the potential use of these heavy bombs in Rafah, a city where over a million Palestinians had taken refuge.
